Re: Points to remember - Statistics

And statistics are also used heavily by politicians and economists to make any point that they want to, especially so if it suits their political agenda. Politicians and economists on the other side of the debate will also use statistics to make their case which of course they claim disagrees with the first set of statistics that the first group of politicians and economists used to make their original case.........

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Julia...I am near the Moselle River, Germany however; I don't see much of it. My Mom suffered a stroke and is in a hospital in Zell. She is recovering well and I am planning on returning to the US on the 18th of May. A little side trip I had not planned on and a medical conference that had to be cancelled due to my absence however; I needed to be here. Sure wish it had been for a happier occasion though. But with a few life style changes my Mom will do just fine and I am happy to have spent the time with her. Hugs,Marion

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Hi Julia,

Yup, statisticians can indeed be scary beasts, not all are but some can be...... I guess that that could be down to all of the guff that they have to take into their brains from uni days!!! I had to do quite a bit of it at uni as I did economics, but thankfully I got out okay, at least I think I did........hmmmm.......lol!!!

Hugs,

Gavin

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Best wishes to your Mom, Marion. It's nice you get to spend time with her at this time.

Glad to have you back, Lainy. You sure were missed.

Gavin, keep up the great research for material. I learn so much from your posts. Thanks so much. My Mom reads the posts on this site and told me about one of your post just the other day. She is a fan of yours as well.

And Julia, I love to read your posts. I am fascinated by England. Prayers for your dear sister.

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Thanks, kids for the warm welcome home. I felt so bad not being able to be here with this family! In July I am going to Milwaukee for 10 days at a Lake. Not sure how I will survive that one. I would jump in but can't swim. I call this apartment complex, my resort. I moved from an adult community and I tell you it was like "God's waiting room". Here there is life and laughter and such polite young people. I am loving it. But the move played havoc on my Ulcerated Colitis so now trying to get that under control again. These Golden Years are great even though slightly tarnished, so guess I better get my polish out and see to it they shine!

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Thanks Pam, I am glad to be of help. And say hi to your mum from me!

And Lainy, yup, having seen the picture that you send me I too would class your new pad as a resort! I spent time in a complex like that once, years ago when I went on holiday to Ibiza!!! Hope that you get your UC under control again. And also me thinks it is time for you to take.........swimming lessons!!!

Hugs to all,

Gavin

Re: Points to remember - Statistics

Thanks Pam...These were some tough days for us. Seeing my mother partially paralyzed and hooked up to tubing was difficult to digest. She had a medium sized stroke and will never be able to recover completely, but we are happy with the progress she has made so far. Hugs,Marion
